Brief Description:  Reinstalled throttle body

Todays the day I reinstalled the EFII throttle body. This is definitely the way to do it. I took the advice of a fellow RVer and rotated the throttle body 180 degrees. This allowed throttle cable to come down the right side of the throttlebody. The throttle cable goes right down Vans original location. Following the original plans makes life a lot easier. The modification that I had to make was to the throttle body arm. The throttle cable had to connect to the top side of the throttle body arm instead of the traditional bottom side. In the cockpit I wanted the throttle lever to move the traditional distance from idle to full. To do this the distance from the point the cable connects to the throttle arm to the center of the pivot must be kept the same as the original. I did shorten it by 1/8" to gain a little clearance to the bottom of the sump. Without the shortening the arm there was 1/8" clearance between the Heim bearing and the bottom of the sump. This would probably be fine but I added the additional 1/8" to now have a clearance of 1/4" I will supply the drawing of the arm to Robert Paisley. Maybe it will be a kit option. I torqued all bolts to 180 in-lbs, applied Loctite and torque seal.
